These finds are from my last 3 or 4 trips to my favorite field. This site has been hit by others before me but continues to give up goodies, usually only one per trip if I'm lucky, so I have to work for it. Its going to be increasingly difficult as those little purple flowers starting to poke up give me horrible allergic fits when they start to pollenate.
Anyway I was completly floored to find this French Royal Artillery button in this field. I'm pretty sure I know the French unit this came from. My first French RW button... Woohoo. Not to rub it in but the history in Virginia is wonderful. In this field alone I've found a Confederate Block A, a Union Eagle cuff button and this French RW button.
A few trips ago I found the Virginia Half Penny, my second in this field, but this one is pretty toasted. The worst of the three I have found.
The cut 1733 1 real was the first spanish silver I found in this field. Was quite surprised as it didn't sound that great. As it stands it's my oldest coin find.
Thanks for looking and good digs to you all.
